Logitech G MX518 Gaming Mouse

I bought a mx510 many years ago, I lost it one day and recently needed a better mouse for work. This filled the need and was a great price. Ended up being better and less money than last time I bought a gaming mouse! Very happy with the purchase. Lastly the ergonomics for people with large hands is the best. Often my fingers extend off the mouse buttons or I need to put my palm on the mouse pad or arch just to fit with the mouse. This one is made perfect and its made just for right hand so no awkward ring finger positions trying to hold on. Love my new Mx518!!

Not like the original but still a good mouse. Its lighter and doesnt come with the grip on the inside of the mouse. Also feels a bit smaller, but not by much. As other reviewers have mentioned, it does feel more plastic-y than the original. Still keeping it but a little disappointed.

I have owned 3 generations of the mx518 and Ive always went to the next generation because I wanted a upgrade not because the mouse broke down. From the time I wake to the time I go to sleep, I can game on this mouse without any kind of fatigue on my hands. The sensor is precise and the dpi upgrade is great, I dont have to pick up and move the mouse like 3 times just to get to the other side of the screen. Logitech please take my suggestion and make a separate version of this mouse with 3-4 extra buttons, I use this mouse mostly for MMOs and several extra buttons would make the mouse perfect.

In the past, Logitech support was unmatched with anybody else. It is the main reason I buy Logitech. I so not know what changed. I started having an issue with my mx518 and contacted support. My mouse was listed in my logitech profile with serial number, model number, purchase date and from where, etc. I started a support ticket from my profile. It took 3 days for them to reply to that and then asked for all of the information about my mouse that was already registered with them. I gave them the information. 3 days later, they ask for a photo of the serial number of the mouse and a hand written note with my ticket number. I ask why this stuff is not part of my profile. 3 days later I get a response that it is part of my profile. 3 days later I ask what is the status of my ticket. 3 days later I get a response that my mouse is in warranty replacement review and I need to wait 72 hours. I started this process on July 1st and it is now July 15th. Candace D at Logitech has been stringing me along now for 2 weeks. I am currently shopping for a new mouse and keyboard. I can tell you 100% it is not going to be Logitech. I will not be buying anything Logitech from this point on. Sorry Logitech, major fail. Candace D. has lost this long time customer.

When I saw that some spin-off Logitech company, Logitech G, was remaking the MX518 mouse I was ecstatic. The MX518 was the best mouse Id ever used and since mine broke after ~7 years of use I had been looking to replace it. It may look and feel like the Logitech MX518 but it is not. My Logitech G MX518 is *already failing after only 3 months*! It has begun interpreting single clicks as double clicks. The button switch is failing. I do not recommend buying this mouse if you think you are getting a Logitech MX518. This mouse isnt it despite the name. *edit*: The Logitech RMA process is now terrible. Even after I took a video of myself using the mouse showing the defect while holding a piece of paper the tech support refused to honor the warranty. They tried to claim that my firmware version wasnt up to date (on my mouse?!) and then hung up on me *2* times while I was waiting on hold. The only way to get them to approve the RMA was to get angry and yell at them at which point suddenly the firmware version didnt matter (it never did, its a bad switch). DONT BUY LOGITECH.

The scroll wheels feels off coming from a g400s, the g400s was more stable and easy to track as I used it over the years, this one feels slightly slippery needs getting used to. And my palms keep sweating, ive never sweated so fast on my g400s, Actually i dont even remember sweating on my g400s ever. But for some reason my hand sweats so easily on this mx518 within minutes. I just wish they would make a g400s legendary instead, sure mx518 was good and popular, but the true real deal was the g400s as the best improvement of the mx518 back in the day. Ive used the g400s for over 8 years, bought one every 4 years, since 2012, but too bad, recently my g400s died so i was forced to buy a new one. Tried the g502 and another brand mouse they were terrible, I dont think im going to get used to sweating either.. Not sure what to do about this. I guess i can use it only on winters..

I got this mouse even though I already have the Logitech Hero G502 Hero mostly out of nostalgia for the ones Ive had like it in the past. When I first got the G502 it felt different, I wasnt used to it, so I always wanted something more like the MX518, but after trying it all over again I realize I like my G502 better, which feels better in my hand and has the thumb rest as well. Nothing wrong the the MX518 and thats why Im still giving it 5 stars, just a matter of preference, but if you ask me, get the Logitech G502 Hero, even if you arent a gamer.

My younger brother gave me an older version of this mouse years ago and it has lasted me many years until I decided that it was time to replace it and Im glad I did. My old one was still working, it just wasnt working properly anymore. So I purchased a used but like new one and so far so good. This was a purchase that Im glad that I did and when it comes time to replace this one, Ill buy another one of these thats for sure.

TL;DR: High quality mouse that feels just like the original. Good buy. When I found out that Logitech updated and rereleased the G5 (Yes, I know this is not a G5) I was quite excited. My previous mouse was on the fritz, so this seemed like a good time to try it out. So far Ive had this mouse for some months and its typical Logitech (and why I keep buying their products). The only minor gripe I have is that the mouse feels a little on the small side. Most normal people will not notice this but I have larger than average hands. Not the fault of the mouse really, but I felt it was worth pointing out. The sensor is crazy in this model, I havent gone anywhere near the maximum. I do not play FPS much anymore, so I cant comment on its accuracy there. Overall, I have barely any complaints. This is an excellent mouse if you just want a high quality mouse thats not button laden or looks like a gundam.

My husband has had this same model mouse for many years. When his old mouse started to break down, he searched for a replacement, trying everything from a very cheap mouse to a very VERY expensive gaming mouse. None of them were quite what he wanted. Finally, we found this same model on Amazon, and immediately ordered it! Hes thrilled, and Im considering ordering another one (or more!) as a backup, just in case this model has been discontinued when he needs another one. Its hard to find a mouse that fits just right, and this one is perfect for him. From other reviews, I see that this particular mouse is a well-loved model, and its not just my husband who thinks its perfect!
